Faced with an emergency situation, Paul Bonnet decided to strike hard by asking the local child, Francis Cabrel, to get involved. The latter immediately decided to play the game by appearing and commenting in his famous rugged voice on a short film extolling the merits of Astaffort and more particularly of his medical house where, himself, he was perfectly treated after a slight paragliding accident. The first city councilor of the village, overjoyed, that the local celebrity is so involved in the life of his village immediately thanked him publicly for this beautiful disinterested gesture: "
The professionals of the nursing home wanted to script and play a role in this movie. I would like to thank Francis Cabrel for taking part in this operation. It's beautiful: thevillage child helps the people of his village.
"
The countdown is now engaged as Astaffort should expect the retirement of his doctor to find a replacement.
The town therefore decided to mandate a recruitment platform to find the rare bird.
For the time being, no Doctor Knock has yet knocked on the door of the medical center ... But Astaffort and Francis Cabrel have not lost hope.
Faith of Occitan!
